Fistly,I want to express some doubts about the reliability of the narrator, Nick Carraway, who tells the life of the main character, Jay Gatsby, from his own perspective because Nick sometimes praises Gatsby and sometimes expresses critical thoughts about him. This situation shows that the narrator is not completely objective and tells the story according to his own feelings. Secondly, we see the American Dream theme from the beginning to the end of the story. The American Dream is the belief that no matter which social class people come from, they can become rich and successful through hard work. This thought is Jay Gatsby’s main motivation. His obsessive love for Daisy Buchanan and his hope that she will return to him one day lead him to work harder and do everything he can to become rich. The novel conveys this hope through the symbol of the green light. The green light comes from Daisy’s house, and when Gatsby looks at it, he sees his dreams and hopes. So the green light shows Gatsby’s dreams and the future he wants, and it also shows how unreachable the American Dream can be. In addition, Jay Gatsby organizes big and flashy parties to prove his wealth and to show it to Daisy Buchanan. However, this situation did not affect either Daisy or the other people. Because society was divided into two parts: “new money” (people who became rich later) and “old money” (people who inherited their wealth). Although Gatsby became rich through his own efforts, he was not appreciated and was even despised by society. Therefore, Daisy did not choose to be with him. This situation shows that for Daisy, social status and wealth were more important than love. Finally, Jay Gatsby was left alone at the end of his life despite his struggles. Nearly nobody came to his funeral. This

Imagine a world where a patient goes to a clinic and gets prescribed highly addictive opioids because it is the end of the doctor’s long day – or that different sentences are given to people who committed the same crimes because one judge hasn’t had lunch yet. These are some of the many real-world examples of “noise” that are mentioned in Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment by renowned psychologist and winner of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences Daniel Kahneman. Noise is the follow-up to his previous book Thinking, Fast and Slow, released in 2011, which brought attention to his work on how cognitive biases shape judgment. In Noise, Kahneman and his co-authors, Oliver Sibony and Cass R. Sunstein, explore the other type of error impacting our judgments: noise. The book follows the premise that “wherever there is judgment, there is noise – and more of it than you think”. If noise is so prevalent, why is it not widely spoken about? Kahneman notes that noise can only be identified in statistics, making it more difficult to track, which means it tends to go unnoticed and unmentioned. Noise is broken up into six parts. It begins with the difference between noise (random scatter) and bias (systematic deviations), the nature of human judgment and how to measure accuracy and error. It also goes into predictive judgment, human psychology and the causes of noise, how to improve judgments and prevent error, and what is the right level of noise. Who knew that important decisions could be swayed by seemingly redundant factors? Such as who spoke first in the meeting, what day of the week it is or whether the local football team won last night’s match. Many different types of noise are discussed in the book, but the most significant one, Kahneman says, is system noise. System

> "It was the power of religious influence, not alone, but more than anything else, which created the differences of which we are conscious to-day” Max Weber saw reformation as a new form of religion control, not elimination of Church’s ones. His aim focused on finding intimate relationship between asceticism and capitalism. He emphasized that commercial and social interests determine opinions and altitudes of people. In today's world, person should make adapted his manner of life to conditions of capitalistic success. “The capitalistic economy of the present day is an immense cosmos into which the individual is born, and which presents itself to him, at least as an individual, as an unalterable order of things in which he must live” As he said: “Spirit of capitalism might be understandable, as has been said, purely as a result of adaptation” For to discover ideal type of person who owns spirit of capitalism use Franklin. He gets nothing out of his wealth for himself, except the irrational sense of having done his job well One major principle of Capitalism is Labor must be performed as if it were an absolute end in itself, a calling. For providing this, Human must be able to cover some characteristics. Such as: cool self-control and frugality which enormously increase performance, being free from continual calculations of how the customary wage may be earned with a maximum of comfort and a minimum of exertion To achieve its goal(increasing the productivity of human labor by increasing its intensity), modern capitalism was faced traditional worker’s character who did not ask how much can I earn in a day if I do as much work as possible? but how much must I work in order to earn the wage for take care of my traditional needs?” And even to describe ideal type of

Hayatta her birimiz bir şeyleri başarmak için mücadele içindeyiz. Ya buna katlanır devam edersin ya da pes edersin. Yazarın da söylediği gibi 𝐚𝐜𝛊 𝐜̧𝐞𝐤𝐦𝐞𝐤 𝐛𝐢𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐡 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐫. 1980'lerden bu yana egzersiz sloganı olarak kullanılan "ℕ𝕠 𝕡𝕒𝕚𝕟, 𝕟𝕠 𝕘𝕒𝕚𝕟." mottosunu sadece egzersizde değil aynı zamanda hayatta başarıyı yakalamak istiyorsanız her konuda bunu uygulayabilirsiniz. Kendinizi zorlamadan acıyı, mücadeleyi seçmeden bir şey elde edemezsiniz. Hedeflerinizi ciddiye alıp çok profesyonel yaklaşmanız gerekmektedir. İşte bu noktada yazarın tam olarak yaptığı budur. Tek farkı severek yapmasıdır. Sevmediğiniz, keyif almadığınız bir şeyi rutininize uzun süre dahil edemezsiniz. Yazar koşmaya başlamadan önce üniversiteden sonra caz bar tarzı bir yer işletmeye başlar. Sabahtan gece yarılarına kadar çalışıyor bir de üstüne o yorgunlukla yılmadan1-1.5 saat yazma eylemini sürdürmeye çalışıyordu. Ama eserlerinde tam odaklı bir yazma olmadığı kanısındaydı. Tam bu noktada yazarlığı profesyonel boyuta taşımak için barı tüm haklarıyla devretmeyi düşündü ve uyguladı. Çünkü onun karakterinde tek işe odaklanıp sınırlarını zorlamak vardır. Bu yüzden kırsal bir alana taşındı. Normalde bar işletirken geç saatlerde uyanıp yatma alışkanlığı kazandığı yaşam döngüsünü kökten değiştirip eşinin de bunu desteklemesiyle her gün 22.00'dan önce uyuma ve 05.00'ten önce uyanma rutinini hayatına ekler ve bunun sonucunda gece hayatı bitse de insan ilişkilerinde gerileme yaşasa da bundan memnundur çünkü insanın zamanını düzenleyip neye odaklanacağını seçmesi insanın bir şeyleri başarabilmesi için bir hayat koşuludur. Zaman bize verilmiş sınırlı ve geri dönüşü olmayan bir hediyedir. Kullanmazsan geçip gider ve tekrar eline alman mümkün değildir. Yazar bu rutini hayatına koymasıyla zamanı daha verimli

ANALYSIS OF THE GARDEN PARTY

The Garden Party is a short imaginary story by the author Katherine Mansfield, published in 1922. Katherine Mansfield is a very well known modernist writer. Rather than focusing on the plot, this novel emphasises the attitudes, feelings and relationships of individuals, and the author paints a picture of the protagonist's inner world as she examines class issues and ponders the meaning of life and death. This short tale takes place in the beginning of the 1900s, mainly in the garden of the Sheridan house in Wellington, New Zealand, where the author spent her youth. It revolves around a death that occurs in the Saunders Road neighbourhood on the day of a family garden party. At first the family ignore the tragedy, too busy planning the party, but as the plot continues they begin to see the brutal realities of life outside their shell. The story's themes are class discrimination and the gap between the upper and lower classes. The story also emphasizes the naivety and cluelessness of the upper-class characters in the face of the harsh realities of life. The story also emphasizes the naivety and cluelessness of the upper-class characters in the face of the harsh realities of life. The most outstanding of the themes in this story is class structure. The main point of comparison in the story is the difference between the rich, elite Sheridans and the poor, working-class Scotts. The author uses the theme of class structure to illustrate how one's social class can affect one's views and behaviour. The narrator highlights the privileges and rights enjoyed by the wealthy and the lack of resources and opportunities available to those in lower socio-economic groups to address social injustice and inequality. Another theme in the story is death. In the story, Laura's view of her

Although all his circles and doctors told him to give up on his son; she never loses hope. One day she will prove to everyone that her son's intelligence is not lacking. Indeed, Christy; When he was five years old, he proved to his mother that he was not out of mind with a piece of chalk he took from his brother's hand with his 'left foot'.
